About Rebecca
Rebecca Shoemaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on work and wellbeing concerns like stress, anxiety, confidence, career struggles, and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone who reaches out.
Rebecca centers sessions on the person in front of her. She listens carefully and adapts conversation and plans to match each person’s goals and day-to-day needs. That means practical steps for coping and small changes that add up over time.
Her practice often addresses life transitions and workplace stress. Rebecca helps people talk through motivation, self-esteem, and difficult career decisions. She also supports those facing mood disorders, panic, obsessive thoughts, or social anxiety.
Rebecca uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions, leaning on client-centered work to build trust and CBT to shape unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws from dialectical behavior skills and solution-focused techniques for problem-solving and emotion regulation.
Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims for clear, simple goals and methods people can use between sessions. If you want straightforward support for work-related stress or changes in life, she offers a calm, practical approach to help you move forward.
How Rebecca’s approaches fit with online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the person feels heard and respected. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk about stress, career worries, or changes in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and gives simple tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic symptoms, and workplace-related stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. These skills can help reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning in stressful jobs or during life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy can be easier to keep up with alongside work and family responsibilities.
